    Xbox Series X controller/app not usable on PC


    *To note, my PC's OS have been updated to the latest version as of 16th Nov 2020.

    My new Xbox Series X controller cannot be identified on games and accessories app.

    My Xbox Series X controller CAN be connected to my PC via bluetooth and is also shown in the bluetooth menu that "Xbox Wireless Controller" is connected, displaying also the battery life.

    However, on my games such as AC Valhalla and CoD:BOCW, I am only able to use Mouse and Keyboard, in which the controller is NOT available as an option. This is peculiar because my PS4 controller works just fine.

    On the Xbox Accessories App, the only thing I can see is a grey background telling me to connect an Xbox Wireless Controller to get started, even when my controller is connected via bluetooth with/without USB-C cable.

    I have tried troubleshooting by removing paired device, connecting using only a USB-C cable, repairing the bluetooth + connecting with the USB-C to no avail.

    Nothing I have tried is working. Please advise.

    Cheers

    *add: So far, Microsoft's and 3rd party support pages have suggested to

    1. Update to the latest Windows OS

    - I have done so.

    2. Update controller through Accessories App

    - I have launched the app but it's still stuck on the very first page that tells me to connect a controller

    :)

    Retrocompatibilidad con anteriores mandos en Xbox Series S/X[Backward compatibility with previous controllers on Xbox Series S / X]

    Hello CapitanYT,

    Thank you for your post. I understand you have some questions on the compatibility of Rockband and Guitar Hero controllers with the Xbox Series X/S. Currently there is no information regarding the compatibility of these controllers, it is only known that
    the Xbox Series X/S will support controllers that are usable with the Xbox One.

    I hope this information helps.

    Xbox one S serie controller and xbox one V3 wireless PC dongle

    Hi,

    The Series S and X controllers work on same devices the earlier controller can connect to. This includes:

    Xbox One Game receiver for Windows 10

    Bluetooth (PC, Android, iOS)

    Xbox One, One S, X and Series X/S.

    Can a Xbox X controller connect to a 360 Xbox

    Xbox One, Xbox One S, and Xbox One X controllers work on Xbox Series X|S, and vice versa. However, Xbox 360 is on it's own, similar to the OG Xbox.

    What's cool however is if you remote stream Xbox One, One S, One X, Series S, or Series X on, say, a PC, you can plug in a 360 controller and use it on the newer generation.

    But no, newer controllers aren't supported on 360.

    xbox external harddrive to pc

    Hi,

    It can't be used on both systems. The Xbox One/Series X|S Formatting is not compatible with PC, your PC won't even see it as a usable drive when you connect it normally.

    To use the drive on a PC would require formatting it via Windows Disk Management (the only Windows tool that will see the drive). This would erase the Xbox formatting and thus all the downloaded games.
